@Matt I like them – heck, I liked Malibu Storm – but I thought that video, even more than the cover itself, was kind of problematic.

@Jon,

And it premiered @roughstock to great numbers. Dana & Lauren have a loyal group of fans/followers.

Hey Juli, when is Jim Malec going to drop by so he and Jon can really get into it just like the good ole days at The 9513? Jon, its nice to see you haven’t stopped picking nits at every chance you get!

Country kind of went reggae back on Ryan Shupe’s first album with the song “Rain Falls Down”, which is quite good by the way.

I guess I now understand why Dana and Lauren just go by their first names! Shankman? Crikey! Hopefully they will make a bigger splash as a duo than Malibu Storm, which didn’t even leave a puddle…

Sierra Hull would probably do a good job covering almost any type of song. That gal is the “real deal” and quite a talent. Although she does need more humor in her bluegrass music apart from “Best Buy” anyway.

That “California Love” video has been out for like about a month.

Sounds Of Home is actually Blue Highway’s third all-original album; the press release (and hence this news item) makes it sound like the second, but that ain’t right. It’s clear in the liner notes, though ;-).

Wouldn’t LeAnn Rimes need to be healthy in order to do a fitness video? Stick-thin, to me, does not equate health — rather the opposite. I would like for Eddie to start feeding her cheeseburgers.

Love seeing so many familiar faces here. :)

A LeAnn Rimes fitness video? How did I not see that coming?

Loved Sierra Hull’s Adele cover.

Looking foward to more great columns from Barry!
